This deep fryer comes with a mesh lid....unheard of to have a lid on a stove top deep fryer. To be able to deep fry without a mess all over the stove. The pan is a little heavy, but the way it cooks makes up for the weight. I have four married daughters and every one of them has tried to take this pan. Great buy.
